She died the second of September, 1571," while, according to Lysons [" Envircm of London "], the Stepney register reoords, 8 Sep. 1576, the burial of the "The Right Hon. La<ly Agnes Wentworth." The names " Anne " and " Agues " were at that date continually interchfrngetl,but the (<a<et differ. (^) As this was granted to his son, the presumption is that he died a widower, but it is not quite clear whether he may ncit have married a third iuim and left that wife surviving. William Borough, a well known navigator, who d. 1599 aged 63, speaks in 1589, of his " getting a good wife " in the person of Lady Wentworth, and such a marriage took pluoe at Stepney, 9 Sep. 1589.
